Can cold water clean dishes?

A man went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded rural area of the state he lived in. After spending the night, his grandfather prepared breakfast for him consisting of eggs and bacon. He noticed a film like substance on his plate and he questioned his grandfather "are these plates clean?" His grandfather replied, "Those plates are as clean as cold water can get them, so go on and finish your meal".

That afternoon, while eating the hamburgers his grandfather made for lunch, he noticed tiny specks around the edge of his plate and a substance that looked like dried egg yokes..... so he ask again, "Are you sure these plates are clean?" Without looking up from his hamburger, the grandfather says, "I told you before; those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don't ask me about it anymore!"

Later that afternoon, he was on his way out to get dinner in a nearby town. As he was leaving, his grandfather's dog started to growl and wouldn't let him pass so he said, "Grandfather, your dog won't let me out." Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV his grandfather shouted, "COLDWATER, Go lay down!"

The Four Types of Dog Vomit

YELLOW URKA-GURKAS:
Dog runs around the house and hides under furniture while making a prolonged "uuuurka-guuurka, uuuka-guuurka" noise. (This noise is the only thing guaranteed to wake up a true dog lover who is hungover from a post dog show celebration at 3:30 AM) After mad scrambling to capture the dog and drag him outside, the episode ends with an indelible ten yard long line of slimy yellow froth from the living room rug to the back door.

BLAP DISEASE:
Dog exercises hard and (a) eats large mouthfuls of snow (Winter Blap
Disease) or (b) drinks a bucket of water (Summer Blap Disease). Within two minutes of returning inside the dog spews out large amounts of clear slimy liquid while making a distinctive "blap" sound and sharp percussive noise as it hits the linoleum.

GARKS:
Dog suddenly clears his throat with loud and dramatic "ggaark, ggark" noises, generally followed by prolonged "iiikssss" and then loud satisfied smacking noises. There is nothing on the rug. Don't ask, you don't want to know.

RALFS:
Appropos of nothing, the dog strolls into the dining room and waits until the innocent dinner guests are all watching him. Then with a single deep gut-wrenching "raaalff" he disgorges the entire week's contents of his stomach on the dining room rug.
VARIATION:
Then he eats it.

In all the above events, the dog is entirely healthy and indeed deeply pleased with himself.
